Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) is a chromatography-free, direct-analysis technique that is ideally suited to real-time, quantitative analysis of volatile compounds in air at trace concentrations. SIFT-MS utilises highly controlled, soft chemical ionisation – in the form of gas-phase ion–molecule reactions – coupled with mass ...

SIFT-MS: development of instrumentation and applications.
2007Data is presented for a range of experiments that have been performed using a selected ion flow tube (SIFT) instrument operated at room temperature (~ 298K) with carrier gas pressures typically in the range of 0.3 – 0.6 Torr. The majority of the experiments discussed are performed on a Voice100 instrument that has not been described in detail ...

Time-integrated thermal desorption for quantitative SIFT-MS analyses of atmospheric monoterpenes
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2019A new time-integrated thermal desorption technique has been developed that can be used with selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, TI-TD/SIFT-MS, for off-line quantitative analyses of VOCs accumulated onto sorbents. Using a slow desorption temperature ramp, the absolute amounts of desorbed compounds can be quantified in real time by SIFT-MS and ...

Journal of Breath Research, 2011
The haloamines, including the chloramines (H(2)NCl, HNCl(2)) and bromamine (H(2)NBr), are diffusible gases that are likely to be produced during inflammation and so may be present as markers of lung inflammation on breath. Although haloamines are quite reactive, it is possible to measure these compounds in humid samples using SIFT-MS.

SIFT-MS utilises direct, soft chemical ionisation coupled with mass spectrometric detection, rather than chromatographic separation, to analyse samples with high specificity. This means that SIFT-MS data differ significantly from GC and LC data in that they are a superposition of mass spectra of the different reactive compounds (analytes and matrix ...

The Principles of the SIFT-MS Technique
The selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) technique operates on very different principles to the more established chromatographic methods. This chapter provides a comprehensive introduction to how SIFT-MS instruments work, the ion–molecule reaction (IMR) chemistry that provides both comprehensive and specific analysis, and the utilisation ...openaire +1 more source
SIFT-MS Measurement of VOC Distribution Coefficients in Human Blood Constituents and Urine
Applied Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2003The new technique of selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) has been applied to the measurement of Henry's Law constants for the volatile organic chemicals o-xylene and trichloroethylene that both have low solubility in aqueous solvents. The method is validated by measurements in water at 298 K using the equilibrium partitioning in closed ...

Application of similarity coefficients to SIFT-MS data for livestock emission characterization
Biosystems Engineering, 2013Animal farming emissions from pig and broiler chicken livestock activities were analyzed by means of selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) using full mass scans in the m/z range 15–250 with H3O+, NO+ and O2+ as precursor ions. The generated set of data was used to investigate the similarity between samples using raw experimental SIFT-MS ...

Integrity of Storage Media for Clinical Applications with SIFT-MS Instruments
2006Tedlar™ bags are a promising medium for remote breath collection and later analysis using SIFT-MS for disease diagnosis. It is important to understand the changes in integrity of samples stored in Tedlar™ bags. However, there is little work into this problem completed to date, and thus little known about these issues.
